The Necessary Angel: Essays on Reality and the Imagination

The Necessary Angel: Essays on Reality and the Imagination

In this collection of essays, consummate poet Wallace Stevens reflects upon his art. His aimÂ is notÂ to produce a work ofÂ criticism or philosophy, or a mere discussion of poetic technique.Â As he explains in his introduction, hisÂ ambition in these various pieces, published in different times and places,Â aimed higher than that,Â in the direction ofÂ disclosing "poetry itself, the naked poem, the imagination manifesting itself in its domination of words." Stevens proves himself as eloquent and scintillating in prose as in poetry, as he both analyzesÂ andÂ demonstrates the essential act of repossessing reality through the imagination.
